Keyboard shortcuts

The keys that work everywhere, then the ones that only work in one studio.

F2 opens this list inside the app, on whatever you have open. Inkwell also has a rebindable shortcut editor: search a command, press the keys you want, and it warns you about conflicts before you commit to them.

Everywhere#


`Cmd` / `Ctrl` + `K`	Command palette
`F1`	Settings, on the Settings tab, not Documentation, whatever the More menu says beside it
`F2`	This shortcut list
`F4`	Command Center
`F11`	Fullscreen
`Cmd` / `Ctrl` + `N`	New project
`Cmd` / `Ctrl` + `S`	Save
`Cmd` / `Ctrl` + `Z`	Undo
`Cmd` / `Ctrl` + `Y`, or `Cmd` / `Ctrl` + `Shift` + `Z`	Redo
`Del` / `Backspace`	Delete the selection
`Cmd` / `Ctrl` + `C` / `X` / `V`	Copy / cut / paste: across studios, not just within one

Undo is per person, not per room. In a shared session, Ctrl+Z undoes what you did.

Inkwell#

Inkwell takes the function keys for itself. Inside it, F1 is Help, F5 opens Brush Settings and F7 the colour palette. The global F1 is not reachable from that studio, use the More menu.

The tool keys are single letters, with no modifier, twenty-two of them:


`V`	Move	`K`	Gradient
`M`	Selection	`I`	Eyedropper
`L`	Lasso	`P`	Pen
`W`	Magic wand	`T`	Text
`C`	Crop	`U`	Shape
`B`	Brush	`H`	Hand
`N`	Pencil	`Z`	Zoom
`E`	Eraser	`Y`	Smudge
`G`	Paint bucket	`J`	Mixer brush
`S`	Clone stamp	`R`	Blur
`O`	Dodge	`Shift` + `O`	Burn


`[` / `]`	Brush size
`X`	Swap foreground and background colours
`D`	Reset the colours to black and white
`=` / `-`	Zoom in / out
`0`	Fit to screen
`1`	Zoom to 100 %

Sculpt#

Sculpt's bindings are rebindable: this is the shipped set.

Modes:


`Q` or `S`	Sculpt	`Y`	Pose
`W`	Move	`M`	Mask
`E`	Rotate	`R`	Scale

Q and S both drop to sculpt: ZBrush muscle memory on one side, the toolbar's Q W E R Y row on the other. Both are kept.

Brushes:


`B`	Standard	`P`	Pinch
`C`	Clay	`L`	Flatten
`N`	Inflate	`K`	Crease
`Shift`	Smooth, held

Shift smooths whatever brush you are holding. It is the single most useful key in the studio.

View, size and selection:


`[` / `]`	Brush size
`Z`	Wireframe
`X`	Symmetry on X
`G`	Grid
`I`	Isolate the selection
`A`	Density brush, toggling back to the previous tool
`F`	Frame the selection
`Space`	Radial menu

Subdivision, on the ZBrush convention:


`D`	Up a level (`PageUp` also works)
`Shift` + `D`	Down a level (`PageDown` also works)
`Ctrl` + `Shift` + `D`	Subdivide, add a level

Masking and camera:


`Ctrl` + `I`	Invert the mask
`Ctrl` + `Alt` + `C`	Clear the mask
Numpad `1` / `3` / `7`	Front / right / top
`Ctrl` + numpad `1` / `3` / `7`	Back / left / bottom

Pulse#


`Space`	Play / stop
`Z`	Undo
`S`	Save

They are printed along the bottom of the window.

Fusion#

Fusion has 53 shortcuts by default, in seven categories, and a Shortcuts Editor that rebinds any of them. It also ships three presets, Premiere, DaVinci and Final Cut: plus Custom, so you can bring the muscle memory you already have.

The defaults, in the Premiere layout:

Playback


`Space`	Play / pause	`K`	Stop
`J`	Play reverse	`L`	Play faster
`Home` / `End`	Go to start / end	`←` / `→`	Step backward / forward
`,` / `.`	Previous / next frame

Tools


`V`	Selection	`P`	Pen
`C`	Razor	`T`	Text
`H`	Hand	`Z`	Zoom

Timeline


`I` / `O`	Set in / out point	`G`	Clear in/out
`=` / `-`	Zoom in / out	`Shift`+`Z`	Fit to window
`M`	Add marker	`Shift`+`M`	Next marker
`Ctrl`+`Shift`+`M`	Previous marker

Clips


`Alt`+`←` / `→`	Nudge left / right	`Alt`+`↑` / `↓`	Move track up / down
`Ctrl`+`L`	Link / unlink	`Ctrl`+`G`	Group
`Ctrl`+`Shift`+`G`	Ungroup

Edit


`Ctrl`+`K`	Split clip	`Shift`+`Del`	Ripple delete
`Ctrl`+`D`	Duplicate	`Ctrl`+`A`	Select all

View: Ctrl+1 / 2 / 3 / 5 show the timeline, viewer, inspector and effects; F11 is fullscreen.

File: Ctrl+N / O / S / Shift+S / E / I for new, open, save, save as, export and import.

In the DaVinci preset, split becomes Ctrl+B, the razor becomes B (blade), and fit-to-window becomes Shift+F.

Pixel Editor#


`Space` + drag	Pan
Scroll	Zoom
`0`	Reset the view

Vectra#

Not shortcuts, but they are on the toolbar for a reason:


`Shift` while drawing	Constrain proportions
`Alt` while drawing	Draw from the centre
Arrow keys	Nudge the selection

Engine#

The Engine publishes its own commands into the command palette (Cmd / Ctrl + K) and keeps a dedicated shortcut panel in its settings; it has far more than fit here, and they are searchable there.
